Series 401

Polyester wipe

Back to our polyester wipes

The series 401, a 100% polyester wipe, is mainly intended for cleaning tasks in areas that are controlled purely by particles. The hydro-entangled non-woven construction gives the wipe a high abrasion and tensile strength. The particularly soft non-woven fabric enables to clean dry even extremely scratch-sensitive surfaces. Compared to the polyester-cellulose non-woven wipes, the series 401 has a significantly lower particle emission.

Properties

  • 100% polyester
  • hydro-entangled non-woven fabric
  • low particle and fibre emission
  • abrasion resistant 
  • exceptional soft non-woven fabric
  • double bag packaging

Advantages

  • good chemical compatibility with different solvents and cleaning agents
  • as a non-woven wipe also applicable in particle critical areas
  • due to the very soft non-woven fabric applicable for surfaces sensitive to scratches

Applications

  • primarily for dry cleaning
  • cleaning wipe also for more sensitive areas
  • cleaning wipe for optical surfaces and other similarly sensitive surfaces (layers)

Product recommen­dation based on cleanroom classes


123456789low dust


ABCDE

Of course, cleanroom wipes used in ISO 5 can also be used in ISO 9, but in this case the economic efficiency and usefulness should be considered.

A 1 to 1 allocation of cleanroom wipes to an air cleanliness class according to ISO 14644-1 is not possible. Recommendations can only be made on the basis of special properties relevant from a cleanroom technical point of view, such as "abrasion resistance" or "particle emission". Users can find further information on this in VDI Guideline 2083 Part 9.2.

The manufacturer's technical data listed above are typical values at the time of publication. They are not specifications. All data are without guarantee, changes are possible without prior notice.
Due to different test methods depending on the respective manufacturers and test laboratories, most of the given values cannot be compared one-to-one with those of other manufacturers/wipes.
Independent tests can be commissioned on request.
